I agree completely with this article that points out how deeply immoral is the Europeans’ dedication to turning the journey of refugees to the EU into some sort of a Hunger Games spectacle.
It would have been much more honest and worthy of respect if Europeans simply recognized that they need immigrants* and helped these much needed immigrants to arrive safely. Instead, they organize a deeply distasteful Survival of the Fittest contest where everybody in Europe oscillates between shedding crocodile tears for dead toddlers while snatching the few sad family heirlooms from the refugees’ hands.
The whole situation is set up to make sure that both the migrants and the locals end up detesting each other and never manage to relate to each other on a basic human level. The resulting animosity will, of course, be blamed on the migrants but the receiving side is doing all it can to create tension and anger on both sides.
* If people stubbornly and consistently engage in a course of action, it means that this is what they want to be doing. Nobody keeps doing shit they don’t want to be doing. I had this acquaintance who refused to return the money she’d borrowed from me saying, “I didn’t want to borrow it in the first place. And, by the way, I didn’t really need it!” Which, of course, did not prevent her from spending it.
